Various Artists - 17 God, That's Good (Sweeney Todd OST) - Текст песни

Ladies and gentlemen,
May I have your attention, perlease?
Are your nostrils aquiver and tingling as well
At that delicate, luscious ambrosial smell?
Yes they are, I can tell.
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
That aroma enriching the breeze
Is like nothing compared to its succulent source,
As the gourmets among you will tell you, of course.
Ladies and gentlemen,
You can't imagine the rapture in store -- 
(Indicating the shop)
Just inside of this door!
(Beating his usual drum)
There you'll sample
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies,
Savory and sweet pies,
As you'll see.
You who eat pies,
Mrs. Lovett's meat pies
Conjure up the treat pies
Used to be!
(TOBIAS and customers sing, overlapping)

MRS. LOVETT (Ringing a bell to attract TOBIAS 's attention)
Toby!
(She starts into the garden with a tray of pies)(To a customer)
TOBIAS:
Coming!
'Scuse me . . .

MRS. LOVETT:
Quick, now!
CUSTOMER (Licking their fingers):

MRS. LOVETT (A bundle of activity, serving pies, collecting money, giving orders, addressing each of the patrons
individually and with equal insincerity):
Nice to see you, dearie . ..

comes back, sniffing)
MRS. LOVETT (To other customers, without breaking rhythm):
What's your pleasure, dearie? ...
No, we don't cut slices .. .
Cor, me eyes is bleary! . . .
(As TOBIAS is about to pour for a plastered customer)

MRS. LOVETT:
So it's six o'clock.
TODD:
It was due to arrive
At a quarter to five -- 
MRS. LOVETT:
TODD:

I've been waiting all day!
But it should have been here
By now!
And it's probably already
Down the block!
It'll be here, it'll be here!
Have a beaker of beer
And sto
